NEW HAVEN, July G.-Yan Phon Lee
Of Fragrant Hills, China, who graduated
with high honor at Yale this year, was
to-day united in matrimOny 20 Miss Eliz-
sbetk Maude Jerome, g New Haven heir
ess. Yam PnOn Lee first came 10 America
in 1879, and resided for five years at
Springfield, sitter which he came to New
Haven and spent four years in the Hop
kins grammar school, entering Yale in the
Cisss OF 81.
AT the end OF his freshman year in col
lege he was ordered back China by the
government, which had sent him and
other sons of prominent Chinese resi-
dents to America for an education. Be-
fore returning to his native land Miss
Jerome had fallen in love with him and
the couple were engaged.
The Chinaman became tired Of home
and surroundings, and at the first oppor-
tunity he ran away, and finally reached
New Haven and his sweetheart. He
again entered Yale, this time in the class
Of 1887, and greatly distinguished himself
throughout his college course.
The wedding is the first on record in
New Haven where Yankee girl has mar
ried Chinaman, and the event has ex-
cited considerable comment in social
circle. The only other case on record in
Connecticut is that of Yung Wing, who
married Hartford lady few years ago.

NEW KIND OF JEWEL.
A nIineraIOgf st in Search of Platinum Stu
bIes Upon Fortune.

A NIineraIogfst In Search of Platinum Stun
bIes Upon Fortune.
Some years ago Edi son, the electric
wizard, was convinced that platinum
existed in North Carolina. He sent
William Earl Hidden, an accompli shed
mineralogist, in search of it. Prof.
Hidden little knew at the time how full
of results to him that pursuit of plat
mum would be. He could not find the
desired mineral, but he found some
thing far better. Being in Alexander
County, a quiet part of the State,
many miles from a railway, he was
directed by Mr.. J. A. Stephenson to
gem bearing ground, and, looking a
little more narrowly, found some of the
gems. He purchased some land, re-
turned to Edison, and reported his vain
quest of platinum, then camc back to
North Carolina. He went to work to
develop his mine. Sinking a shaft in
simple way, he gradually made the
opening larger until specifically the
mine presented the aspect of a stone
quarry. Out of this rude pit in the
earth were taken unnumbered gems
one hitherto unknown. To this Mr.. j.
Lawrence Smith, of st. Louis,
an eminent scientist, gave Hid
denis name, and "Hiddenite, a."
the equivalent of the dia-
mond in value, became Instantly the
fashion. Its tender-tinted green crys-
tails, its intense hardness and its new
beauties, when cut, were only some of
its charms. From the day of its dis
covery to the present it has been
hopeless task to supply the demand for
it. Every Hiddenite found is already
purchased long in advance.
But, strange as is this flashing green
miracle of the earth, the place of its
birth is still Stranger. The laborers
who are working in the mine handle
their pick with the greatest care. They
are on the watch for pockets" Pos
sibly for an hour the digging goes on
and no pocket is struck. Presently
the pick goes into an opening; with
tender fingers the earth is partially re-
moved, and finally the miner fells with
his hands every portion of the walls of
the opening. 1t may happen that his
search is in vain, but it is oftener the
case that his fingers touch little crys-
tails that are so imbedded in the sides
of the pocket that their points project
outward. They are carefully picked
out Perhaps all are beryls, perhaps
there are dozen kinds of gems, or yet
again il may be that there are only
Hiddenites. Sometimes gems worth
hundreds of dollars are thus taken from
one pocket-St. Louis GIobe-D Democrat

THE PUBLIC DEBT.

A Very Rapid Increase Under Decrease
ing circumstances.
The assumed rapid decrease of the public
debt of the United States, as shown in the
statements published, has seemed very mar
velous to foreigners. The experience OF
other nations with their public debts leads
them to doubt the statements of this country.
Most CT them have continually increasing In
stead of decreasing national debts.
How then, they ask, can the United
States diminish its debt so rapidly
The prosperity of the people during all
these years has been undated. In fact the
country has never seen such an era of gen.
eral prosperity. The two conditions appear
TO be contradictory.
Are the statements truce
In one sense they are undoubtedly cor
rect, but the public debt has largely in
creased since the war. It has accumulated
to the great inventors and discoveries whose
successful efforts have eaSed the burdens
of labor and made pleasant the pathways OF
toll.
A grateful public should also aclnowl-
edge its Indebtedness to those who have
promoted health and happiness. The pro
prietors of Warmers safe cure have given
to the public a specific for all kidney dis
orders, and the innumerable train Of fright
full diseases that are caused by them. The
late public teacher, DR.. Dlo Lewis, who sell
dom prescribed medicines of any sort, gave
to this. renowned specific his warm COM
mendation, and said if he found himself Suf-
fering from any kidney disorder he should
use it. Kidney disorders are the cause OF
rs per cent, say the prOprietors of that
remedy, of all diseases. If you keep the
kidneys in health, you have the greatest as
Burance of freedom from all disease.
Before the discovery of this remedy,
Or1ght's disease was deemed incurable.
Now the number of victims of the
dread kidney diseases, and all others
caused by such diseases, who are by 1t
snatched from death constantly increases,
and as tie efficacy of the remedy becomes
more widely known those who have reason
to be devoutiy thankful that this wonderful
specific has Deen made known to the world,
multiply with rapidly increasing ratio.

costly laces were crumbling rags, and
the rich satin was scorched and black
ened; Worth masterpiece was utter
ly ruined, but the delicate white body
it inclOsed had not felt even 3 breath OF
flame. The kindly, careless words ut
tered an hour before had borne precious
fruit for her; but before she could re-
cover from her fright enough to speak
her thanks, Sara had quietly got her
self out of the excited group and was
speeding home to her boarding place.
But she had not been quick enough to
avoid Mr.. Warren's entrance, or to es-
cape his agitated words: ''Jessie, my
darling, are you hurt?" and all night
her dreams were haunted by tall,
manly figure. with beautiful, golden
haired girl in his arms.
Next morning, just as she had sum-
moned up energy enough to think of
getting off to the office, she was told
that some one wished to see her in the
parlor; and, going down, she was con-
fronted by Mr.. Warren, who caught
both her hands in an earnest clasp, as
he said:
miss Ogden, how can I ever thank
you for last nights worke And why
did you run away before we could
speak to you? Jessie would have come
with me this morning, but she is not
| fit to be out. She sends you this note
| and some roses" pointing to a basket
on the table. "And my mother begs
that you will let me bring you back to

"But-you overwhelm me. / don't

''Did any one else do as much? No.
You mustn't be ungracious, and refuse
our Acknowledgements. But for you,
she might be lying dead now-my dea<
little sister!''
Your sister, Mr.. Warren? Why, I
thought you"

these clear eyes. But now that you've

I'm too commonplace and uninterest-

do you think, dear? Could you ever
care for me?'
Miss Ogden evidently felt very little
doubt on that subject, and must have
signifed as much, for that very after
noon she was being petted and made
much of by her lovers family. The
next time she stood in the dressing
room of Mrs. Rossiter's elegant man

was quite unacceptable under the

books were then brought before the con-

opened by the Bishop, and in tho one
chosen by Henry g. Good the bit of paper

PROTECTION AND TRUSTS.
Impending Dangers Which Can Be Avert
ed Only by Tariff Reduction.

Impending Dangers Which Can BE AVERT
ed Only by Tariff Reduction.
Our tariff breeds trusts and our trusts
breed anarchists. The process is as
regular as the procession and evolution
of generation. When manufacturers
found that competition within the ma
tional limits was become virtually I'M
affected by the law of demand and sup
ply that regulates the trade of the
world, they naturally, as young ducks
take to water, looked about for means
of regulating home competition-of
controlling and restricting it in their
own interest.
1t is in this way that steel-rail, petro-
leum, cotton-seed oil, salt, sugar,
whisky, whitehead, linseed and castor
oil, coal and cordage trusts were
formed. They are the results of the
instinct of self-preservation on the part
of protected manufacturers. They find
they can not afford to share the good
things the Government has arbitrarily
provided for them even with the mem
bers of the limited home societary or
ganization; consequently they must
combine to keep what they have got
among themselves.
They have thus introduced into the
world of commerce the old feudal prin-
ciple of might makes right-"let him
that's able take; let him then keep
who can"
Now, all these trusts and pools are
combinations to effect unjust ends by
ostensibly legal means. At the same
time they are obnoxious to that law of
the liberty of the citizen or the sub
iect which provides that he shall be
protected in the right to possess and
enjoy the fruits of his labor, mental or
physical In old times the men form
ing these trusts would have been
called forestallers of the market, and
punished as such. But in these modern
days society has too much trusted to
the mere freedom Of contract to regu-
late prices, as it now finds it has
trusted far too much to the freedom
of speech as the surest preventive of
the evils of its license.
On account of our trust-breeding
tariff we at length find ourselves con-
frOnted, on the one hand, with associ-
ations of capitalists combining to eff
feet an illegal purpose by professedly
legal means; on the other, by associ-
atiOns of working-men combining to
wrest portion of their unjust spoil
from these capitalists by similar pro-
fessedly legal means.
The situation is indeed grave. The
country and the world are presented
with the most serious problem in
history. This problem includes two
alternatives. Either the present OPP
pressive tariff must be reduced within
limits that shall prevent these capital
istic combinations and associations or
the United States of America must be
provided with the strongest and most
repressive government the world has
ever seem - Chicago Ae1Cs.
